Adult Gender Identity Services

Gender Services for Adults

Counselling & Psychotherapy

Support & Advocacy

The general goal of psychotherapy is to find ways to maximize one’s overall psychological well-being, quality of life, and self-fulfillment and relieve distress. Psychotherapy is not intended to alter a person’s gender identity; rather, psychotherapy can help a person explore various aspects of their gender, find satisfying and enlivening ways to express their gender, and have success and fulfillment in their relationships, education, and work.

Support for Family, Spouses, and Loved Ones

Caring for yourself and your loved one

Decisions about changes in gender role and medical interventions for gender dysphoria have implications for not only individuals, but also their loved ones and families. Clinicians at the practice can provide support and guidance to spouses and family members whose loved ones are exploring gender transition.

Assessment & Advocacy

Removing barriers and providing support

For those undergoing gender transition, we can assist in providing letters of support or advocacy to assist with the following:

Readiness for Hormone Therapy (Note: This is not always mandatory unless a G.P. requires a collaborative support letter from a psychologist or registered psychotherapist);

Support letters for sex designation change on government documents (driver’s license, passport, etc.);

Advocacy letters for educational institutions or employers;

Referral to other treating practitioners (endocrinologists, family physicians who prescribe hormones, advocacy groups, support groups);
